We had the most amazing time on our sunrise tour at Kokou riding. The centre has a great vibe and the owners and workers/volunteers are all very friendly and passionate about all the horses. We were matched perfectly with a horse suitable for our riding ability and confidence. The sunrise tour was magical, very worth the early start. We started with a walk towards the beach, with a few opportunities to trot and canter if you wished. The swimming was incredible! the horses are really brave and it was so so fun! we did races in the water and they made it really enjoyable and a memorable experience. You then travel through countryside and along the coastline, enjoying beautiful scenery. We finished with a gallop across the field back to the centre which was a perfect end to the trip. We then stayed a while to pet and feed the horses which was great. They also offered free photographs with the trip which is nice touch as you can leave all your valuables at the centre. we would highly recommend Kokou to anyone visiting Paros, worth the price and an activity you won’t forget. Thanks in particular to our french tour leader who made it extra fun!

Visited with the family yesterday. I came 2 years ago and wanted them to experience it. Doesn’t disappoint. Great choices. You can pick from a selection of wines and types. Thanos was very knowledgeable and enhanced the trip. Will go again for a different selection. We bought quite a few bottles but there is no pressure to do so.

6. Lageri beach

Premise: if you want an easy accessible beach equipped with parking, umbrellas, bars, toilets, music and / or you are against obvious nudism and homosexuality, then don't go to Lageri. Otherwise, this is undoubtedly the most beautiful beach I have visited in Paros. The water is super clean and calm even in windy days, the sand is soft and white, although some little stones and rocks are spread here and there. Natural shadow is provided by some bushes and trees that go occupied very soon, so better if you bring with you an umbrella or a tent is you care of sun burns. Being the beach totally unattended, bringing own food, water and other personal stuff is mandatory. Behind the beach there are several sandy dunes too, quite rare environment in Paros to my concerns. The local government seems to keep the environment clean but unfortunately visitor stupidity may lead to see some left papers or plastic but overall I found it to be a clean place. To reach Lageri by car, I suggest to set your navigator to drive you to a tiny and pitoresque white church nearby: you won't get there as you will have to park the car (but quads and bikes too as the first 50m of the path is 50cm wide) few dozens of meters before the church, not a real parking, just leave your car where others left their on the dirty road, for your convenience I used to park at coordinates 37.132888,25.270039 on Google Maps. It is then necessary to walk for about ten minutes on a dirt and rocky path till you get to the sandy line, walking is anyway pretty safe even with flip flops, but sneakers can be a better option. Highly recommended to visit Lageri in the morning, you will have more shades from trees, better sea view colors and obviously less crowd and a more convenient parking place.

At the central beach, there is a cafe & water sport facilities. The renovated monk cells of Ai Yiannis Detis monastery, hosts a permanent historic exhibition entitled "The Island of Paros through Russian cartography between 1770 and 1774". The chapel of the monastery and the catering facilities of the beach-bar make weddings at the Park a privileged choice.

Great day activity is to choose one of the paths that meanders around the park and soak in the nature and the best sights of paros looking back. After your walk cool off by dipping into the crystal clear waters at one of the wilder beaches at the end. Perfect!
8. Venetian Fortress

This old venetian fort acts as a wave break between the open sea, and the Old Port of Naoussa. It seconds as a phenomenal sight seeing opportunity - you can walk across the storm break wall, right into the fortress! Peer through the seven cannon ports that used to defend this Port in the 15th century. Appreciate the fishing port, and the quaint activity of Naoussa perched along wall standing amongst the Sea. Highly recommend!

For only 12/ 8 euros , this park was fun, friendly and suited all ages. All the slides go into the sea or are salt water. Had souvlaki and chips which was good value and tasty. Made a change from the Beach or pool.
